Column 3 of 8 on the campaign map: Belgica and the Alps, 57 BC
57 BC. These descendants of the Cimbri and Teutones laughed at our siege tower, then surrendered. They hid a part of their weapons, and now they break out to fall on us on these slopes. If you lose this ground below their hilltop town, their warband will shatter our army.
The briefing as the game gives it, before the battle.
An enemy camp. A Gallic camp hides in the woods at the edge of the field and is found mid-battle. Until it burns it sends raiders at the houses and its own wave; its veteran guards never leave it. The battle is won only once it has burned.
They come out of the mist in waves. How many depends on the squads you send, how far your campaign has come and its difficulty.
vs Infantry:stand even with Gallic foot; take the high ground.
vs Ranged:swords run down slingers and skirmishers.
vs Spear:arrows thin a spear line before it reaches you.
